Even with the Nationwide Obama Hating yesterday... There were some really cool firsts that did happen in this midterm election.Bittersweet reality of Politics in America, but noteworthy none the less. 1) The 1st Directly elected Black Senator for South Carolina, Tim Scott. He became the first black senator elected in the South since Reconstruction ( he's still a republican-boo) 2) In Utah, Mia Love became the first black Republican woman — and first Haitian American — elected to Congress. (still a Republican...deep sigh) 3) Joni Ernst is the 1st elected woman to represent Iowa in either house of Congress and the first female combat veteran ever elected to the Senate .(Thank you for your Service & then pulling double/triple duty Ms. Lady Vet!) 4) The number of women in Congress will reach 100 for the first time in U.S. history.(will their collective cycles synch? You know it happens when a posse of women are around each other.. Ya I got jokes!) 5) Gina Raimondo will be Rhode Island's first female gove ...

LETS GO ALL YOU REPUBLICANS, LETS GO... Republicans Gain Three Seats from Dems As polling centers start shutting their doors to voters, results have begun to surface and announce who will be claiming their seat on the Senate floor. And the GOP is half way towards claiming victory as the Senate majority with West Virginia being turned over to Republican Shelley Moore Capito, Arkansas's Tom Cotton unseating Democrat Mark Pryor, and Gov. Mike Rounds claiming formerly Democrat South Dakota. The party now needs a net gain of three seats to claim ruling over the floor. According to the Associate Press, early results have announced Republicans Mitch McConnell of Kentucky as well as Tim Scott and Lindsay Graham of South Carolina as winners of their respective states. Republicans have also taken victories in Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Texas, and Maine, while Democrats hold on New Jersey, Rhode Island, Illinois, Michigan, Delaware and Massachusetts. The race is projected to see the Democratic Party ...

HE WORK ETHIC WE INHERITED GROWING UP HAS FALLEN PREY TO THE 'WELFARE' SYSTEM... The Cato Institute released an updated 2013 study (original study in 1955) showing that welfare benefits pay more than a minimum wage job in 33 states and the District of Columbia. Even worse, welfare pays more than $15 per hour in 13 states. According to the study, welfare benefits have increased faster than minimum wage. It's now more profitable to sit at home than it is to earn an honest day's pay. Hawaii is the biggest offender, where welfare recipients earn $29.13 per hour, or a $60,590 yearly salary, all for doing nothing. Here is the list of the states where the pre-tax equivalent "salary" that welfare recipients receive is higher than having a job: 1. Hawaii: $60,590 2. District of Columbia: $50,820 3. Massachusetts: $50,540 4. Connecticut: $44,370 5. New York: $43,700 6. New Jersey: $43,450 7. Rhode Island: $43,330 8. Vermont: $42,350 9. New Hampshire: $39,750 10. Maryland: $38,160 11.

32 Ridiculous Laws From Around The World That Still Actually Exist 1.In seven U.S. states, according to their constitutions, atheists are barred from holding public office. 2.Sodomy is illegal, in general, in Idaho, Utah, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. In these states, sodomy is only illegal for homosexuals: Montana, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. Oral sex is often considered sodomy by many states, according to the Hebrew Bible. Except strangely, you don’t see people as equally outraged about this as they are about *** sex. 3.Interracial marriage was still illegal in Alabama in 2000. 4.Not until 2008 did the UN Security Council pass UN Security Council Resolution No. 1820 which declared rape and other forms of sexual violence a war crime, a crime against humanity, and a constitutive act with respect to genocide, arising from the conflict in the Balkans, in which violating women became an conspicuous weapon in the war. 5.Since 1986, US autho ...

Erin's Law passed this morning in the House Education Committee in South Carolina. It now heads to the entire House floor for a vote where it will then go to the Senate to be voted on. If you are from South Carolina please write your legislators to support and pass Erin's Law HB4061. I just got off the phone from testifying in the Alaska Senate Fiance Committee on Erin's Law. Two weeks ago I testified on Erin's Law in Alaska when I spent a week there and it passed on the House side now working on the Senate. They will vote tomorrow in that committee so if you are from Alaska write your senators to support SB216 known as Erin's Law. Next week I fly to Rhode Island and testify on Erin's Law at the capital there. Tomorrow I spend an entire day educating kids in an Illinois school K-8th grade all on Erin's Law. I start with 6-8th graders in the morning, followed by 4-5th grade, and finish the day K-3rd.

THIS DAY IN THE HISTORY OF THE SUNSHINE STATE (Post appears one day before the actual date) JANUARY 1 HAPPY New Year! 1836 On this date, the Seminole peoples were supposed to migrate to Oklahoma, but not all Seminoles were willing to go. The Second Seminole War started on December 28 to forestall this activity. 1862 Union guns on Santa Rosa Island opened fire on an unnamed steamer brought into the Navy yard by Confederate forces in Pensacola. Although the Confederates suffered no casualties, a large storehouse was hit by an exploding shell and burned to the ground. 1862 Governor John Milton called the “Columbia Trapiers” into service today. This unit was commanded by Captain J. R. Francis. See Two Federal blockade ships, the U.S.S. Rhode Island and the U.S.S. South Carolina, were sighted in the Gulf of Mexico near Pensacola. 1863 The Battle of Murfreesboro (Stone’s River) continued today as Confederate forces under General Braxton E.

10 Things You May Not Know About Me. 1. I met Bob Keeshan, who played "Captain Kangaroo", when I was 5 -- He was in town visiting some neighbors -- he was a relatively young man then and wasn't wearing his stage make-up so I didn't recognize him. Before I was introduced to him, he pulled my parents aside and asked that they not tell me who he was so it wouldn't ruin the illusion of the show for me. I regret that I have no memory of meeting him but I really appreciate his thoughtfulness. 2. I was on Romper Room in South Carolina ... twice. They had 5 official ceramic Romper Room cups and one Royal Crown Cola paper cup. When they give us drinks on-air, I ended up with the paper cup both times. Still bothers me today. 3. Growing up, I lived in Kentucky, South Carolina, New Mexico, Ohio, Alabama, Florida, Arizona and Rhode Island. As different as they are, Arizona and Rhode Island were my favorites. 4. I was an only child until my baby sister, Heather, was born when I was 19 years old. I'd always wanted a l . ...

You ever wonder why, whenever you go somewhere outside of New Jersey, there is always someone from New Jersey? Here are some stats that might tell you why: If you took the States of North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Nebraska and Alaska and added their populations together, it still wouldn’t equal the population of New Jersey. By population, New Jersey is a larger state than Virginia, Washington, Massachusetts, Arizona, Indiana, Tennessee, Missouri, Maryland, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Colorado, Alabama, South Carolina, Louisiana, Kentucky, Oregon, Oklahoma, Connecticut, Iowa, Mississippi, Arkansas, Kansas, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, Nebraska, West Virginia, Idaho, Hawaii, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming. New Jersey is the 5th smallest state in the union by territory, but the 11th largest state by population. So it makes sense now that wherever you go, there is always someone from New Jersey.

Today is Independence Day in the United States of America. On Saturday, July 5, 1777, a day after the anniversary of American Independence, the revolutionary John Adams wrote to his daughter from Philadelphia that he “was surprised to find the whole city lighting up their candles at the windows.” The year before, on July 4, 1776, representatives of the American people in 13 colonies were in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to declare independence from Great Britain. Philadelphia is still lighting up the candles as you can see in this photograph taken 236 years later from the International Space at 09:28 GMT February 6, 2012. It includes most of the 13 colonies: Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts Bay, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island.

Forty -six years ago today, 76 courageous souls of the 173rd Airborne, Company A 2/503 Infantry (approx. 120) were slaughtered via multiple human wave attacks by an elite North Viet Nam unit (estimated anywhere from 500-1200) in the Central Highlands of South Viet Nam. Another two dozen were seriously wounded in what is now known as The Battle of the Slopes. This encounter ranks as the worse loss of life by a US unit in a single day.

Well, I've been busy for several months moving trucks all over the east coast for The Pete Store, a large Peterbilt dealership with branches in several southeastern states. I work out of the Greenville, South Carolina branch, and it has been keeping me hopping. Originally it started strictly as a part-time retirement gig. But business is brisk, sometimes with sixty or more sales and deliveries to a single customer. A large part of what I do is delivering car haulers and these go principally to West Warick, Rhode Island, Akron, New York (north of Buffalo and north of Niagara Falls), Springfield, Massachusetts, and Jacksonville, Florida. And I move a lot of them from Gainesville, Georgia to our branch in Greenville. This is a fantastically fun retirement job, but sometimes it does get a tad busy, keeping me on the road and moving for a week at a time. I absolutely love this. sort of a boys and their toys sort of thing. See lots of places and much of this nations most beautiful places. I go past tow ...

DONT TREAD ON ME FLAGS- THE GADSDEN FLAG Christopher Gadsden was an American patriot if ever there was one. He led Sons of Liberty in South Carolina starting in 1765, and was later made a colonel in the Continental Army. In 1775 he was in Philadelphia representing his home state in the Continental Congress. He was also one of three members of the Marine Committee who decided to outfit and man the Alfred and its sister ships. Gadsden and Congress chose a Rhode Island man, Esek Hopkins, as the commander-in-chief of the Navy. The flag that Hopkins used as his personal standard on the Alfred is the one we would now recognize. It's likely that John Paul Jones, as the first lieutenant on the Alfred, ran it up the gaff. It's generally accepted that Hopkins' flag was presented to him by Christopher Gadsden, who felt it was especially important for the commodore to have a distinctive personal standard. Gadsden also presented a copy of this flag to his state legislature in Charleston. This is recorded in the South ...

Charge a fee to use your credit card? It’s legal for merchants to do that, unless barred by state law. Ten states already ban such surcharges – California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Oklahoma and Texas – and more may join the list. The legislatures in 13 other states are currently considering bills that would prevent these so-called “check out” fees. Lawmakers in Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Utah, Vermont, Washington and Tennessee are responding to a rule change that took place late last month. A similar bill will soon be introduced in West Virginia. and MasterCard agreed to let merchants add a surcharge to credit card transactions so be a fool and use your credit card.

UPDATED INFORMATION ON "TURNING TEARS TO JOY" “Turning Tears to Joy” By Chaplain Don Biadog, NAMB endorsed military chaplain Freeport, New York Saturday 5 January 5, 2013 God answered the Quiles family’s cry for help. Their cry turned into joy when volunteers from Rhode Island, Oklahoma, Washington, and South Carolina showed up on a cold, clear Saturday morning January 5, 2013 ready to help the Quiles family clear debris, remove molded materials destroyed by floodwaters, and spray anti-mold liquid matter around the affected area. Alex Quiles, six-year-old daughter of Noel Quiles, cried when she saw the inside of her home for the first time since the storm hit her home before Halloween in late October 2012. The Quiles home in Freeport, New York was once a beautiful haven, but now, from the eyes of the first grader, her home is a disaster, an unimaginable sight, virtually everything in sight was destroyed by the flood caused by Superstorm Sandy. When Angela Quiles saw and met the volunteers from Rho . ...

U-6 ISN'T FALLING LIKE A ROCK U-6 or total unemployment peaked at 17.2 percent nationally in November 2009, fourteen months after Lehman Brothers collapsed. In November 2012, it stood at 15 percent. In 22 states, U-6 is actually higher now than when it peaked nationally in November 2007. In California, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Vermont, U-6 remains unchanged. But what is staggering is the U-6 or total unemployment in the ten worst hit states: Nevada @ 21.4% … California @ 19.6% … Rhode Island @ 18.3% … Oregon @ 17.3% … Washington State @ 17.1% … Michigan @ 17% … North Carolina @ 17% … Florida @ 16.4% … Illinois @ 16.3% … and South Carolina @ 16.3%. Until Congress gets a grip on U-6, they cannot solve our nation’s JOBS crisis. Higher taxes and larger spending cuts is the route to austerity. And austerity leads directly to higher total unemployment. Note: Since 1994, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has generated stats on the total unemployed at the national and state level. Known as ...

Today in History Civil War Dec 30, 1862: U.S.S. Monitor sinks On this day in 1862, the U.S.S. Monitor sinks in a storm off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Just nine months earlier, the ship had been part of a revolution in naval warfare when the ironclad dueled to a standstill with the C.S.S. Virginia (Merrimack) off Hampton Roads, Virginia, in one of the most famous naval battles in American History--the first time two ironclads faced each other in a naval engagement. After the famous duel, the Monitor provided gun support on the James River for George B. McClellan's Peninsular Campaign. By December 1862, it was clear the Monitor was no longer needed in Virginia, so she was sent to Beaufort, North Carolina, to join a fleet being assembled for an attack on Charleston, South Carolina. The Monitor served well in the sheltered waters of Chesapeake Bay, but the heavy, low-slung ship was a poor craft for the open sea. The U.S.S. Rhode Island towed the ironclad around the rough waters of Cape Hatteras. Since Dec ...

Which political party cares the most about people? The answer is not surprise to me. The most generous state is Utah (where residents gave 10.6 percent of their discretionary income to charity), followed by Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee and South Carolina. The most penny-pinching state is New Hampshire (at just 2.5 percent), followed by Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Liberals love to point out a conservative who says something stupid, how about these Liberals? DO YOU AGREE WITH THEM? Vice President Joe Biden has accused Republicans of wanting to put blacks back in chains; Actress Ellen Barkin openly hoped that Hurricane Isaac would “wash every pro-life, anti-education, anti-woman, xenophobic, *** bashing racist SOB (at the GOP convention in Tampa) into the ocean,” and fellow thespian Samuel L. Jackson lamented that he was “not understanding God's plan” in having spared Florida from the worst of the storm;

On this day in 1775, just a few short months after commanding British soldiers during the Battle of Bunker Hill, General Sir William Howe writes to the British-appointed secretary of state for the American colonies, Lord Dartmouth, to inform him of his belief that the British army should be evacuated from Boston to Rhode Island. From there, British forces could move expeditiously to the southern colonies, without having to go around Cape Cod. As Lord Dartmouth had previously received reports that men were needed in the southern colonies from the likes of Josiah Martin, the royal governor of North Carolina, and John Murray, the royal governor of South Carolina, he ordered General Howe to send officers stationed in Boston to North Carolina to assist Martin in the southern campaign. Martin ha d been directing Loyalist efforts in North Carolina from his ship Cruiser anchored in the Cape Fear River since a Patriot attack on his home in April 1775. When the residents of Mecklenburg County effectively declared t ...

Oops? "Yet the Brewer administration is quietly designing an insurance exchange — one of the most essential and controversial requirements of the law. Officials in a handful of other Republican-led states say they are also working to have a framework ready by Nov. 16, the deadline for states to commit to running an exchange or leave it to the federal government to run it for them. That is just 10 days after Election Day, which is likely to decide the future of the law." "Only 13 states and the District of Columbia have formally committed to running their own exchanges. All of them but Rhode Island, whose governor, Lincoln Chafee, is an independent, are led by Democrats. The Republican governors in six states — Alaska, Florida, Louisiana, Maine, South Carolina and Texas — have said they will not create a state-run exchange, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. So has New Hampshire, where Gov. John Lynch, a Democrat, faced opposition from the Republican-controlled legislature. "Most of the remai ...

A recent study commissioned by the Chronicle of Philanthropy revealed something that won’t surprise many people of faith: the more “religious” a state or region of the country, the more likely its people are to give generously to charity. Here are the top 10 most charitable states: 1. Utah 2. Mississippi 3. Alabama 4. Tennessee 5. South Carolina 6. Idaho 7. Arkansas 8. Georgia 9. North Carolina 10. Maryland All of the bottom five states are located in the New England area: Rhode Island (46), Massachusetts (47), Vermont (48), Maine (49) and New Hampshire (50). By the way, Texas ranks 13th behind Oklahoma and Louisiana. New Mexico ranks 22nd. Obviously, there are many generous people of faith in every state of the union, but the giving divide based upon religious commitment is still very telling. At a time when many are pushing for greater cultural secularization, the fact of the matter is that people of faith make for very good citizens – and very good humanitarians. They are generous and give wil ...

Columbia, SC - The precise number of African people transported to North America as part of the slave trade is unknown. Once sold, these men, women and children ended up living and dying in obscurity. It is rare to be able to pick out the thread of one slave’s life from this human tapestry and follow it down through history to the present day, even more unusual when that slave is a child. In 1756, Priscilla, a ten year old girl from Sierra Leone was sold at auction to Elias Ball, a wealthy rice planter in South Carolina. Beginning in February, the story of her life and the family tree she founded will be the subject of a new exhibit, Finding Priscilla’s Children, at the South Carolina State Museum. Priscilla’s story is told through a document trail that goes back 256 years beginning with her trip from Sierra Leone on the Rhode Island slave ship Hare and tracing her life on the Ball plantation. Dying in slavery at age sixty-five, she was survived by her ten children. While researching his own family ...

Four More Years! President Obambie "The private sector is doing JUST FINE." Let’s take a closer look at the private-sector-dominated economy that Mr. Obama says “is doing fine.” * Unemployment is rising, now at 8.2 percent nationally, but much higher in 17 states across the country, including New York, 8.5 percent; Florida, 8.7; South Carolina, 8.8; New Jersey, 9.1; North Carolina, 9.4; California, 11.2; Rhode Island, 11.2; and Nevada, 11.7. This is fine? * 24 million workers are unemployed, underemployed or have given up looking for work, pushing the jobless rate to 15 percent. *In the 3 1/2 years of Mr. Obama’s presidency, nearly half of college graduates cannot find full-time work that is commensurate with their educational training, and many are forced to work part time, temporary or settle for low-pay counter work at places like Starbucks. * High school graduates are having even a harder time getting work, according to a recent report from the John J.

I don't actually have a problem with marrying your cousin - maybe because, as the son of two only-children, I don't have any cousins - but I do feel like calling out North Carolingians on the incoherence of their various marriage laws, because: It is in fact legal in North Carolina to marry your first cousin, as it is in 20 states: Alabama, Alaska, CA, Colorado, Connecticut, DC, FLA, Georgia, Hawai'i, Maryland, Massachusetts, NJ, New Mexico, NY, NC, poor little Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, the Green Mountain State of Vermont, and sweet Virginia. In NC it is not legal, by the way, to enter into double-cousin marriages, whatever they are. Generally speaking, states that outlaw cousin-marriage respect the legality of cousins married in cousin-loving states.
